Chapter 695: Get the Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit

Zhou Ye hadn't experienced such a taste of humiliation in nearly a century. He wanted to retaliate, but his strength was inferior!

After Nu Jiang and Sheng Zhaoxi surrendered, the Divine Wood Sect now boasted one Nascent Soul cultivator and eight Core Formation cultivators. On his side, he was alone! The immense power disparity forced him to lower his head. Although Zhou Ye was confident that activating the Primordial Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder could destroy everything, his opponents wouldn't be foolish enough to allow it, and he wasn't ready to die yet. Who wants to die when they can live?

So, after Chen Mobai laid everything out, Zhou Ye found he had no choice. Indeed, he had been offered a dignified way to survive! Zhou Ye said, "I can agree, but I hope Sect Master Chen and all the senior brothers and sisters will swear Dao Heart Oaths regarding these conditions."

Meanwhile, in the Snow Blowing Palace, Kong Lingling felt her child growing weaker, hoping for more time for it to capture more blood food.

Lou Xuelong, from the Starry Sky Dao Sect, thought of the formidable strength of Return to Heaven Valley and, considering their sect's potential inability to reach it, couldn't help but frown slightly and emphasize a point. Especially the ten thousand mu of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in Flower Kingdom, which the Starry Sky Dao Sect had cultivated for over a millennium to ensure a continuous harvest.

Ling Shu's expression showed a slight struggle, but he eventually sighed, "Very well!"

Previously, when it was the Five Elements Sect, only the Primordial Ancestor could enter the One Yuan Secret Realm. So, although Sect Master Chen and the others knew it contained immense opportunities, they never had a chance to learn the details. He recalled Zhou Shengqing mentioning that within Primordial Immortal City, there was a secret realm left by True Monarch One Yuan, which was on par with the Divine Tree Secret Realm.

"At first, I still had some ambition, wanting to subdue each of my senior brothers and sisters one by one, inherit my master's dying wish and the secret realm, and lead the Five Elements Sect to greater heights."

The Divine Wood Sect watched his receding figure, then looked at the East Desolate map in the grand hall, their gaze lingering on the location of Flower Kingdom, their eyes profound. It seemed all five pieces were needed before it could be activated. However, once the Five Elements and Five Meridians were unified, the actual operation of the Immortal City would undoubtedly be managed by people from the Dao of Origins. It was said that the Primordial Ancestor had obtained the inheritance of True Monarch One Yuan within this very secret realm.

In the future, if he formed his Nascent Soul, it would signify that his sins were purified, and he could leave the city. The Five Elements Sect, which had been separated for nearly a century, was unified by the Dao of Origins so easily?! From now on, he wouldn't need to concern himself with the trivial matters of the Five Elements Sect or worry about the other four meridians uniting against him; he could simply focus on his own cultivation.

"The Five Elements Golden Substance, dissolved by the Five Elements True Monarch, is the purest Five Elements spiritual essence. Besides helping cultivators with Five Elements spiritual power form their cores, it is also the best treasure for cultivating your Primordial Golden Red." Thinking this, he opened his eyes. However, the Five Elements True Monarch requires an extremely demanding environment to grow, needing spiritual veins with all five elements present and almost identical spiritual energy content.

This was just a polite remark; Chen Mobai clearly understood that his greatest deterrent power lay only within Primordial Chen Mobai's abode. Currently, only those super sects in the Eastern Lands possessed such rare heavenly treasures. He never imagined that the One Yuan Secret Realm would also contain one.

"Sect Master Chen should know about the One Yuan Secret Realm, right!"

The Divine Wood Sect asked, "Didn't the Primordial Ancestor leave the secret realm to you? Can you not open it?"

When the five jade pendants were placed together, there was no reaction. Both the Divine Wood Sect and Ling Shu were somewhat disappointed. After returning, he would need to use Enlightenment Tea to thoroughly comprehend it.

"Immortal City of Origins, our sect places great importance on the ten thousand mu of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice in Flower Kingdom. Should anything unexpected happen, a Nascent Soul Patriarch might personally descend and unleash thunderous wrath."

Chen Mobai did not immediately agree after hearing this. The Starry Sky Dao Sect was located in the Eastern Mountain region, which had many mountains and hills, making cultivation difficult. Therefore, most of the third and fourth-grade spirit rice for many elders in the sect came from Dongyi, Dongwu, and Donghuang.

"Yes, after Master passed away, he taught me the method to open it, but it requires gathering five tokens and then activating them with Primordial True Qi."

After hearing this, the Divine Wood Sect thought for a moment and proposed a slightly excessive request: "After opening the One Yuan Secret Realm, you must first impart the Primordial Zhou Shengqing to me." The Divine Wood Sect then took out three jade pendants—cyan, fiery red, and dazzling gold—and placed them alongside Ling Shu's piece.

After two encounters with Ling Shu, the Divine Wood Sect found him to be a very pragmatic individual. It wasn't that he was unwilling! After hearing this, Chen Mobai asked a question that made Lou Xuelong slightly taken aback. After understanding this, Ling Shu even regretted not surrendering earlier.

As Grand Elder, Ling Shu issued a public self-condemnation to all cultivators of the Five Elements Sect's Earth Meridian, admitting his unworthiness and that he had hindered the great trend of Five Elements unification. He stated that his seventh senior brother, Sect Master Chen, possessed both virtue and talent, and was a trustworthy elder, thus the true lineage of the Five Elements should rightfully be inherited by him.

Lou Xuelong seemed to miss the implied meaning in the words and, after speaking, took his leave. Ling Shu, however, regretfully said something that caused the Divine Wood Sect slight concern.

North Abyss City. At this point, even if Sect Master Chen's Nascent Soul formation hadn't been exposed, the Dao of Origins' strength already reigned supreme in the East Desolate, even ranking among the top three in the three Eastern Regions.

"That's just a hypothesis." Primordial Chen Mobai!

"I heard Master say that most of the Five Elements True Monarchs in the Eastern Lands were cultivated by ancient cultivators who forcibly created small worlds complete with all five elements of spiritual energy using great divine abilities." "I've made some progress." "There's also something else."

"And it has been one hundred and seven years since the Primordial Ancestor passed away." Both sides had already sworn Dao Heart Oaths, so Ling Shu did not conceal anything and shared what he knew. After the Primordial Ancestor passed away, he left his inheritance to Ling Shu. For the sake of the secret realm, he decisively first taught the Primordial Zhou Shengqing to the Divine Wood Sect, likely knowing what was inside.

Chen Mobai was overjoyed to hear that Ling Shu was willing to humble himself so much and take full responsibility for the Five Elements Sect's separation, and he authorized the Divine Wood Sect to handle the matter entirely. Lou Xuelong couldn't imagine any possibility of Return to Heaven Valley surrendering to the Dao of Origins. After all, backed by their Starry Sky Dao Sect, they could earn millions of spirit stones annually from the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice. As long as Yan Shaoyin was a normal person with some integrity, he would never switch allegiance to the Dao of Origins.

Ling Shu placed his earthy yellow jade pendant on the table, speaking with emotion. The Divine Wood Sect probed a little and, after learning of the Starry Sky Dao Sect's determination regarding the Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice, uttered a meaningful statement.

These were Sect Master Chen, Sheng Zhaoxi, and Mo Douguang. After the three of them heard about this matter, they were also very interested in opening the One Yuan Secret Realm. However, they did not dare to come to Primordial Chen Mobai's abode, so they only dispatched disciples to send their jade pendants.

"In other words, once the secret realm is opened, there's a good chance of finding a complete set of mature Five Elements Elixir inside, or even more than one set."

After provisionally signing an agreement with Ling Shu, the Divine Wood Sect remained in Primordial Chen Mobai's abode, instructing Jiang Zongheng to deliver the negotiation details to Sect Master Chen. This way, at the very least, it could delay Ling Shu's cultivation progress.

Zhou Ye spoke again, causing Chen Mobai to frown slightly, feeling that this fellow was becoming too demanding. If it were truly damaged due to war, it could indeed provoke a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator from the Starry Sky Dao Sect.

"Please proceed!" The Divine Wood Sect was interested and urged Ling Shu to continue. Ling Shu said, "Help me open it."

"This secret realm is a small world with balanced Five Elements spiritual energy. At its center is an extremely precious Five Elements Golden Substance. The Five Elements Elixir that you five disciples consumed for Core Formation in the past was harvested by Master Primordial from it." Lou Xuelong's purpose in coming this time was precisely to emphasize this point. "That's good then. Please remember that, Immortal City of Origins."

Ling Shu, taking it seriously, actually thought the Divine Wood Sect had already comprehended the Primordial Zhou Shengqing in just a few days, and his expression was filled with awe. It was precisely for this reason that spiritual vein caves suitable for the growth of the Five Elements True Monarch were exceptionally rare. In the Heavenly River Realm, although there were also spiritual items to aid Core Formation, in ancient times, cultivators of Five Elements techniques would all consume the corresponding Five Elements Elixirs to transcend the great realm of Core Formation.

In that self-condemnation, as a form of self-punishment, he declared that he would seal himself within the Immortal City and would not leave until his karmic sins were expiated. Ling Shu said, "How about half each? The secret method to open it is in my hands, and it requires Primordial True Qi." According to the agreement, he could take half of the items in the secret realm, which meant Ling Shu could take at most two and a half of the Five Elements Elixirs. When the separation happened later, that would be even less.

Following the self-condemnation, Chunyu Su, the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, opened the city gates wide. Jiang Zongheng, who had already been besieging the city, followed his immortal masters and entered Primordial Chen Mobai's abode.

"The one in the One Yuan Secret Realm was originally planted by a mighty figure from the Longevity Sect who opened a small world. Later, it was discovered by True Monarch One Yuan, and with it, the Primordial Zhou Shengqing was perfected." For Ling Shu, he only needed to cultivate using the fourth-grade spiritual veins there and maintain the deterrent power of the Primordial Five Elements Extinction Divine Thunder. But now it was not possible; they needed to suppress him!

Although he felt that Zhou Shengqing and the others would not object, it was still better to confirm. "Junior Brother Chen truly lives up to his reputation as an peerless genius. When Master first taught me the Primordial Zhou Shengqing, it was like reading a heavenly scripture. Only after listening to Master's explanations for a hundred days did I begin to comprehend it, and even now, I have only just entered its threshold."

Ling Shu said, "I haven't opened it, nor am I certain." After the Primordial Ancestor passed away, Ling Shu did not secure his position, so he naturally wouldn't reveal this secret matter to others.

The Divine Wood Sect's puppet body was comprehending the Primordial Zhou Shengqing that Ling Shu had just imparted to him. It was indeed a supreme divine ability left by True Monarch One Yuan, profound and infinitely subtle. If he were to open the One Yuan Secret Realm and use the Five Elements Elixir to cultivate Primordial True Qi, it was quite possible he could master the Primordial Zhou Shengqing in a short time. And after his surrender, the Divine Wood Sect also granted him dignity; he remained the Grand Elder of the Five Elements Sect's Earth Meridian, a good junior brother who had seen the error of his ways in the eyes of Sect Master Chen and others.

Seeing the Divine Wood Sect rise, Ling Shu put down the bait in his hand and asked very cordially. "Please rest assured on this point. As long as our sect remains the overlord of the East Desolate, your sect's ten thousand mu of Coiling Dragon Spirit Rice will be guarded by our people, even if Return to Heaven Valley cannot protect it." These matters were unknown to the Divine Wood Sect until Ling Shu spoke of them.

Upon hearing this, the Divine Wood Sect was greatly surprised! "This is absolutely impossible."

"Brother Zhou, are you sure there are no issues with the key to opening the One Yuan Secret Realm?" This matter shook the East Desolate! Since the Dao of Origins intended to unify the East Desolate, their Starry Sky Dao Sect also needed to adjust its strategy accordingly.

"I wonder what rare treasures are hidden within that secret realm?" The Divine Wood Sect asked, "If there are gains, how shall they be distributed?" Chen Mobai, who was about to refuse, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this news, Yan Shaoyin's hair turned significantly grayer, and he once again ordered Return to Heaven Valley to intensify efforts to gather medicinal ingredients for the Infant Nurturing Pills.
